Why stay here ...

A gem of a site in a lovely setting, lost in Mid Wales between Snowdonia and old Montgomeryshire. Gwern-y-Bwlch Club Campsite features terraced pitches, some with splendid views across the valley. You'll soon find the pace of life slows to a relaxed stroll in this part of Wales. The caravan park is an ideal base for country pursuits like birdwatching or fishing. Don't forget your binoculars - the RSPB has reserves at Lake Vyrnwy and Ynys-Hir. A conservationist's paradise, with a bird hide and feeding station on site - watch out for the red kite in the area.

Gwern-y-Bwlch Club Campsite has proved ideal for anglers, who often try their luck at the Llyn Clywedog reservoir, or in the Dyfi River. If you fancy sea fishing you can book trips from the harbours of Aberystwyth or Aberdyfi. Walkers will find the Ffordd Glyndwr long distance footpath passes the caravan site. Further walking is available through the local woodland of Llanbrynmair that was developed by the Forestry Commission.

Please note: This site does not have a toilet block. The maximum outfit length we can accept on this site is 8 metres.

Peaceful site great wardens

Gwern-Y-Bwlch Club Campsite
Had six nights here when we arrived there wasn’t many pitches the warden suggested we could go on the pitches across the road to the other side which was okay, thought we would move in the morning when pitches came available woke up in the morning to just bird song so decided to stay where we were. The only downfall we decided to walk on the footpath to llanbrynmair nice walk except after going through esgair farm the farmer sent his 8 dogs down the lane after us and our dog, reported him to the police and council so be careful if you use it.

What an idyllic location, with great dog walk and views which make up for the lack of toilet block. A great stay, and we will be back again without question

Quiet and peaceful campsite with lovely stewards

Gwern-Y-Bwlch Club Campsite
The roads and the pitches are in different layers of the terrain. We felt that were in the mountains and in nature. It's a quiet and peaceful campsite with lovely stewards. The best campsite we've ever been to.

Excellent place to stay

Gwern-Y-Bwlch Club Campsite
Wonderful peaceful site, well looked after by the friendly wardens. Clean, well maintained and tidy. Great views due to the terraced pitches. This site has an abundance of wildlife, we saw red kites most evenings. Got a great video of a nuthatch just outside the caravan. Had a fantastic, relaxing time. Will certainly visit again.

Best dog walk

Gwern-Y-Bwlch Club Campsite
Such a lovely woodland dog walk plus the field! Created by the very friendly wardens who obviously love the site, thank you. Delightful natural and peaceful site with gorgeous views. Lack of good WiFi can be frustrating in this modern world but it’s a compromise worth accepting.
